A Summary for Returning Players

To return you will first need to recover your account. This video created by the UO team will lead you through the steps required.

The next step is to download your choice of client, if you are strictly ‘old skool’ you will probably favour the classic client, while if you have become used to more advanced user interfaces with hotbars you may prefer the enhanced client. Both client download links can be found here.

While you wait for the game to install here are the main points of what you have missed over the last few years, in reverse chronological order.
